I checked on the free banners below but they charge a ridiculous price for shipping and then it doesn't come for like 6 weeks!! You can order from a company called Shindigz or www.shindigz.com for $14.99 and pay $6.95 and it will deliver in 3 to 5 days.  I have used them before and they do a great job!  The banner is hemmed and has grommets for hanging.  I actually did a photo banner with a picture made of Philip at BC graduation to welcome him home at Airport after A School.  Hung it at the house for the 2 weeks while he was home on leave.

Hi Francine, they are hefty prices on those tickets and I hope the points on license if he received any can be reduced as well.Its hard to be young sometimes when you drive those beautiful fast cars even when you get older its tempting but hopefully lesson learned keeping him in prayers for his day in court and mostly on the roads for him,mine and all our Sailors Good Luck to your Sailor

I am trying to find the free military banners, I seen it somewhere on here and can not find it . I had to run to the barn when i came back in the boys had shut my computer down .(thank you boys.) and i lost the site , they had some very nice stuff on there site.

I am not sure if it was this group or one of my other ones.

Francine, Oh my!!  what a price to pay for going a little fast!!  I hope your son won't have to pay any more money. Those are hefty fees.

francine,

thanks for letting us know what's up.  if his attorney gets his ticket reduced (which i have no doubt he will) his fine should be around $300.  i think jessica's fine was around $250
